7: Since it has come to this, let’s just do both!

Confinement Room.

Tonight's moonlight was a little brighter than yesterday's.

Su Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, Cultivating in his Sea of Consciousness, which had been going on for a full day.

The True Qi within his body was mobilized by him in various forms again and again; he seemed to be sitting there motionless, but in reality, it was no less strenuous than a full day of fighting.

A hidden weapon flying dagger cut through the night sky.

Just as it was about to reach Su Yang, the flying dagger split into two, then four, and in the blink of an eye, turned into dozens of identical flying daggers attacking all of Su Yang's vital points.

These flying daggers were empowered by powerful True Qi, moving at an extremely high speed, and in a flash, they were already in front of Su Yang.

However,

Su Yang's lips curved slightly upward, showing a hint of indifference.

With a raise of his right hand, a massive amount of True Qi condensed at his side, forming an indestructible True Qi shield that firmly blocked all incoming hidden weapons.

Before the person in the darkness could act again, these flying daggers reversed their blades and flew back at an even faster speed.

Thump, thump, thump~~~

The sound of flying daggers embedding themselves in the wooden door.

"Ah—"

A terrified scream came from the darkness.

Wen Yunyao discovered with horror that each flying dagger had just grazed her skin, leaving a human-shaped outline on the door, and she was precisely at the center of this outline.

Just as she was marveling at Su Yang's precise control of True Qi, a wisp of True Qi wrapped around her waist, a powerful inertia struck, and the next second she uncontrollably flew up and landed steadily on Su Yang.

More accurately, she sat on his lap.

"Junior Sister Yun Yao, you've improved a little today, but not much. You still need to work harder if you want to kill me."

Su Yang's smiling face appeared before Wen Yunyao.

He had spent the entire day in the Confinement Room, and one of the simulated scenarios was Wen Yunyao's possible sneak attack methods. For this hidden weapon move, he had already practiced various countermeasures in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Hmph, next time I'll definitely kill you!"

Wen Yunyao pouted and snorted. She was somewhat disheartened by her repeated failure, but seeing the smile on his face, she became even more unwilling and wanted to prove that she really had the ability to kill him!

"Anytime."

"But now, it's my turn..."

A mischievous smile appeared on Su Yang's face.

Since she came, there was no reason to let her run away.

Daytime Cultivation could only improve his combat ability, but only nighttime Cultivation could elevate his cultivation level.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute... Su Yang, you... you big jerk!"

Wen Yunyao didn't even have time to refuse before she felt a surge of Spiritual Qi from both inside and outside, and at the same time, her True Qi was completely suppressed by him, just like before.

She lost her strength, but still huffily punched Su Yang's chest twice.

"You always use me to Cultivate, you're too much!!!"

Su Yang said, "I say, Junior Sister Yun Yao, do you still remember what you came here for?"

"To kill you!"

Wen Yunyao said huffily.

"So you do know you came to kill me."

Su Yang said solemnly, "You came to kill me, but you failed. So, isn't it reasonable for me to retaliate? You can't allow yourself to try and kill me, but not allow me to get revenge, right?"

Wen Yunyao: ???

That seemed to make sense.

But... why did it still feel strange somehow?

"How can you retaliate against people like this..."

Wen Yunyao's face was flushed and she pouted, then, as if by a ghost's prompting, she reached out and pinched his face.

Su Yang shrugged and said to her, "Anyway, if you come to kill me in the future and succeed, I'll accept my fate. But if you fail, then I'll use you to Cultivate, as an equivalent countermeasure against you."

"You..."

Wen Yunyao was so angry she couldn't speak.

"If I'm killed by you, I'll accept my fate. Similarly, if you're caught by me, you should just accept your fate."

Su Yang said, "I'm Cultivating."

After speaking, he stroked her waist, closed his eyes, and entered a Cultivation state.

His kidneys emitted a faint blue light, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Qi from the outside world.

Su Yang then skillfully circulated the Spiritual Qi through Wen Yunyao's body once, then returned it to his own body to convert it into his own True Qi and store it.

Each time the Spiritual Qi circulated and returned, his strength increased by a few points.

After the Seal on his Innate Kidney Body was lifted, Su Yang, constrained by his unique Cultivation method, cherished every Cultivation opportunity immensely, not wanting to waste a single moment, Cultivating with all his might every minute and every second.

Wen Yunyao sat on Su Yang, able to see his face clearly in the moonlight.

At this moment, Su Yang was completely immersed in Cultivation; his face in the moonlight exuded a unique aura.

Perhaps it was their current state, but Wen Yunyao actually found herself feeling an uncontrollable stir in her heart.

This made her very embarrassed.

She subconsciously pouted, not wanting to admit this special feeling.

After all, this was the third time she had helped him Cultivate, so she was somewhat accustomed to this state and didn't feel much discomfort. This very habit, however, made her even more embarrassed.

She wanted to divert her attention.

"Since this guy can use me to Cultivate, can I also Cultivate during this process?"

Wen Yunyao muttered to herself.

Since there was nothing else to do, Wen Yunyao simply closed her eyes and tried to enter a Cultivation state.

Every time Su Yang used her to Cultivate, a large amount of external Spiritual Qi would surge into her body. Although this Spiritual Qi would eventually enter his body, when it circulated within her body, it would incidentally bring her immense benefits, which was also why her strength improved every time.

Wen Yunyao attempted to absorb the external Spiritual Qi with her own cultivation.

She was surprised to find that her efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Qi from the outside world was far faster and the quantity much greater than when she Cultivated normally.

However, strangely, the Spiritual Qi absorbed in this manner could not be directly converted into True Qi within her body.

Wen Yunyao was, after all, a direct daughter of the Sect, and her Comprehension Ability in Cultivation was actually very high.

After some thought, she began to imitate Su Yang's Cultivation method, passing the Spiritual Qi she absorbed through their connecting bridge, allowing it to circulate once within Su Yang's body.

Due to their connection, Wen Yunyao found that even if this Spiritual Qi left her body and entered Su Yang's, she could still perfectly control it.

As long as her Spiritual Qi circulated along with the Spiritual Qi within Su Yang's body, there would be no obstruction.

After circulating once, it would then return to her body through his Spiritual Root connection.

Sure enough.

The returning Spiritual Qi could quickly transform into her own True Qi.

What surprised Wen Yunyao even more was that the True Qi refined in this way was more condensed and powerful than the True Qi she obtained from her usual Cultivation. The same amount of True Qi clearly contained stronger power.

"I didn't expect Cultivating with him to have such great benefits..."

Wen Yunyao mumbled to herself, it was both fast and strong.

Fast?

He wasn't fast at all, terrifyingly enduring... Bah, bah, bah, Wen Yunyao, what are you thinking?

Wen Yunyao's face gradually flushed.

However, being a cultivator, she quickly reined in her emotions.

Although this method of Cultivation was embarrassing, she would be used by him to Cultivate for one night anyway, and she would also Cultivate actively for one night. Rather than being passively used by him to Cultivate, it was better to seek a hint of initiative in passivity.

Wen Yunyao no longer cared about anything else; she just sat on Su Yang, Cultivating with a calm mind.

A faint smile played on Su Yang's lips as he Cultivated.

It was truly rare for this girl to actively sit on him and Cultivate.

This change was clearly a good thing for Su Yang.

More importantly, the Spiritual Qi that Wen Yunyao circulated into his body during her Cultivation process would also strengthen his cultivation to a certain extent, just as his Spiritual Qi entering Wen Yunyao's body would strengthen her cultivation. Although the strengthening effect from her was not as strong as his, any strengthening was always good.

Twofold improvement from one Cultivation session, Su Yang increasingly felt the uniqueness and power of this Innate Kidney Body.

He calmed his mind again and continued to Cultivate.

Su Yang and Wen Yunyao both entered a Cultivation state simultaneously. Their Spiritual Qi circulated within each other's bodies through their unique connection, forming two perfect cycles of Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi.

Neither Su Yang nor Wen Yunyao noticed that after they had fully entered their Cultivation state, their bodies emitted a faint Spiritual glow, and their bodies floated in this glow, suspended in the air of the Confinement Room...
